No, she's on the dole by choice. She was 25 years old, making $60K a year and quit for another job. Then she chose to quit that job too.

- fr0sty 15y ago> Just before July 4th, Angela, a 26 year-old Boston University alumna, was laid off from her job as a software trainer. She was fired after her previous employer threatened legal action. You can't say she "chose to quit" that job.
- WingForward 15y ago"Angela worked at Bullhorn for about three years. She left the company on her own terms in October 2010 to work as a software trainer at a Boston-area hospital, but after seven months decided "it wasn't what I wanted to do." So she took a job as a business analyst with another company that sells software to recruiters." She chose to quit two jobs before running into trouble at her third. And "sic" is used to imply that the original quote was grammatically incorrect. Your usage implies I misused the word "chose" when you should have rephrased your sentence to make the tense correct.
- fr0sty 15y agoWhether she had zero, one or several jobs in between is immaterial. Bringing it up borders on ad hominem Also, Fixed the tense on the previous comment, sorry.
- WingForward 15y agoIf it was immaterial, why quibble with me on the facts? It's not though. The whole article presents her as unemployed because of the NCA. That's inaccurate. She can and did work in her field.
- danssig 15y agoBut she did lose a valid employment opportunity because of it. That needs to stop.
- vermontdevil 15y agoShe signed the non-compete agreement in 2007 when she was 22 or so. Life is not exactly black and white as you try to portray these things to be.
